Vivienne unlikely to come by this post.

If you want help then we need more information.

When, where, what's the connection etc

You need to give more info Valerie, as I’m sure you realise, as a regular poster on the message boards

Or use the ‘search all member trees’ facility

Sorry,..... all I know is her name, and she says she is a niece of my mother, This was on The Heritage site, as I don't belong to that site, I can't get any more info. No one in the family I have spoke to know her. I knew it was along shot but thanks so much. Val

As we don't know your mother's name (apart from, presumably, Gardner) , place or year of birth, it's impossible for us to try to trace the relationship, if any.

Of course, don't give her exact DOB on here if she is still living.

Vivienne may be a distant cousin, whom nobody in the family would know about if they hadn't done any family tree research.

You say you found her name on "The Heritage site".

Can you post a link, please?

"she says she is a niece of my mother"

No, she doesn't, if that page posted by Rose is all you have to go on.

Vivienne manages a Kelly Web Site - which does seem to include your mother - but there's no way to know how your mother fits in with the Kelly family without joining MyHeritage in order to look at the tree. Your mother may be a far out distant twig on the tree.

You can get a 14 day free trial of MyHeritage.

https://tinyurl.com/ne48p2py

But if you don't want to continue after that, make sure you cancel the free trial before the end date, or you'll be billed for a full subscription.

"Free Trial
Free trial subscriptions will be billed only at the end of the free trial period.
You may cancel a free trial at any time during the free trial period from the My Purchases page and incur no charge. On that page, choose "Data subscriptions" or "Complete subscriptions", press "View details" and then choose "Stop free trial now" for the chosen subscription.
To start a free trial, your payment details will be required. By providing your payment details and accepting the Terms and Conditions, you agree that MyHeritage may automatically begin charging you for the paid subscription after the free trial ends on a recurring annual basis.

If she claims to be your mother's niece, you can easily verify by looking up the children of your mother's siblings on freebmd.

Their names are all posted above to make it even easier for you

Ada doesn't appear to have married,

Unless Kelly is the woman's married surname, she can't be your mother's niece.
She could be a great-niece, but you'd have to do a lot more research to try to prove that
